Eight cool photo effects to give your images the wow factor

8 cool photo effects to give your images the wow factor

When you've spent time writing a fantastic tweet, an important Facebook post or your latest blog post and are ready to publish it, how much time do you spend on the accompanying image?

Usually, it's the final step everyone takes and is frequently rushed.

Recently, there's been a lot of evidence showing the positive – and powerful - effects of images in social media and on the web.

Did you know…

  • tweets with images receive 150% more retweets than tweets without images?*
  • Facebook posts with images see 2.3X more engagement than those without images?*

Aren't those statistics just jaw-dropping?

From jaw-dropping to thumb-stopping images

Imagine taking a little extra time to find and then enhance an image to go with your next post. An image that is not only connected to the content, but so striking that it stops the reader scrolling in order to read your post.   

Take a look at our latest infographic showing some creative and eye-catching ways to add the 'wow' factor to your photos. All the effects are easily achieved with free apps, so you can have fun adding impact to your images.
